Saturday, October 15 · 4:00pm - 10:00pm
Sidewalk Society
Rising from LA’s soul, garage and mod scene come Sidewalk Society. They’ve just recorded a sensational new EP breathing new life into Brit-psych cult classics such as “Lazy Old Sun” (The Kinks) and “Dandelion” (The Rolling Stones). They’re also on the verge of releasing a great new album of original material recalling The Yardbirds at their Jeff Beck/Jimmy Page peak.

Check out The Sidewalk Society sound below:

Leningrad Cowboys.....

....so, my friend shared a link to a blog post the other day. It was about this crazy fashion trend in Mexico that is starting to take off with the young Mexicans living in Texas (Tejas). It involves really LOOOOOOOONG and pointy boots. Anyway, reading through the bit that was written up about them, the author mentioned that they could have been influenced by the Leningrad Cowboys and offered a link. http://www.leningradcowboys.fi/

I find these guys (and what appears to be "sometimes" gals) visually interesting. I've listened to a few of their songs (all live) on Youtube and am not that impressed with the music that goes along with them...but they do get an A+ for visual stimulation, stage presence and performance! I think they like pointy things...pointy hair, pointy shoes...well, you get the picture!
